New user - how to

[mclaudiopt]

Hello to all
i am new user and i have some questions
hope someone can help me. i will list my current issued and really appreciate some ideas:

1 - i have 3 monitors - laptop+2 monitors
2 - i have 2 cameras - insta360 and laptop camera

a) anyway that scenes change when i am looking at one camera or another one? i am more or less in a 45 degrees angle between cameras
b) is there anyway to have like a soundboard with 8 or 10 pre-recorded sound effects that i can trigger easily while online?
c) anyway to automatically start the virtual camera? or do i need to start it everytime i need? i am using Microsoft teams and choosed obs camera but everytime i need i must go start the virtual camera

sorry for the questions...and hope to have more in the future :)

If I understand you correctly ... you are looking for something that will monitor each cameras input and make a subjective call when you are facing a specific camera...
For that, there are some plugins.... that are computationally demanding, as would be expected. And I coding for only a 45 deg face angle... could be a challenge. I don't know of something specific to this scenario... but I'd think (and could easily be very wrong, so to NOT take my word for this) that such would be a more advance capability, and not something in alternate (fee based) compositing software, either.
Good luck finding this... but I could see so many false positives, I'm not sure this would really even be worth pursuing based on current technology

I'm assuming you are basically a 1-person show, and trying to automate things that aren't easy for computers to detect.... challenging, i suspect
What I suspect you will find, is that *if* using the keyboard isn't viable(or at least desirable), that most folks next step would be something like the StreamDeck or similar, where you configure specific buttons/keys to correspond to Scene Changes, start stop of music, advance slides, etc.

b) is there anyway to have like a soundboard with 8 or 10 pre-recorded sound effects that i can trigger easily while online?

A streamdeck could also apply to 'playing' Media Sources (ie soundclip)

c) anyway to automatically start the virtual camera? or do i need to start it everytime i need? i am using Microsoft teams and choosed obs camera but everytime i need i must go start the virtual camera

I'd suspect there is a command line option, or setting, but not something I've looked into as it doesn't apply to my use case. corry

You may want to look into the 3rd party plugin - Advanced Scene Switcher for sophisticated automation capabilities
